Here’s what recycling means today: Trade in old iPods, cell phones, etc. for dollars. I scrounged around our home and found unused electronics worth $250 or more. Sure beats searching the couch for coins.

Tasks Pro is a web based task manager. An upgrade from Tasks Jr. and Tasks, it puts all your tasks in an organized structure that is accessible to everyone who needs to be a part of the project at hand.

Task management can cause trouble in the ranks if not set up properly and handled well. When a number of people are in charge of getting a project done and those people don’t have access to the information needed things can quickly fall apart. With Tasks Pro these types of situations can easily be handled.

The program allows numerous people to work on selected projects together or apart. With features such as setting due dates and priority dates, publishing calendars, receiving automatic email notifications and being able to leave each other important notes, every step of a project from beginning to end is taken care of.

It’s easy to set up tasks and give access to only those you want to have access to it as well as set it up to notify those people when changes have been made to the project.

Task Pro works on all types of computers and is accessible from any location there is Internet access. It can be accessed by any number of people all at the same time. If you have an assistant on the other side of the world, he or she will still know exactly what is going on and what is expected of them.

Anyone who has a multi person project should try Task Pro. It will bring all your assistants, tasks and results together in one central location, making it easier for everyone involved.

Gas prices are insane lately. I stumbled upon this interesting little site today during lunch. Using FuelFrog you can track your gas mileage by entering the miles you traveled on your last tank, the price you paid, and how many gallons you added to your car. FuelFrog will compile and trend information about your gas mileage, the amount you spend, and all sorts of other nifty info. In the near future, you’ll be able to compare your vehicle to others and see how you stack up.

And to make this tool even cooler, it has the ability for you to use it via Twitter! You tweet your fuel data (miles, price, gallons–MPG) @fuelfrog and wa-la!! These guys are so on top of the geekdom they even have a Smartphone app for posting to FuelFrog.

The service is still a little new, but it’s got some very cool features and if you’re watching your gas budget it might just come in handy. Check it out!

You already know that I like a funny video, and I hate Barbie. So, here’s a funny Barbie video from Gonnabe.com.

Meet Gold Digger Brandie! How could I not love this? Barbie makes me want to hurl. Thank goodness I have four little boys. I do have nieces, but I’m fortunate in that my niece loves Hello Kitty and Strawberry Shortcake! Whew, what a relief. When I was a little girl and my aunt bought me a Barbie I pulled it’s head off and melted it’s body parts in a pot. My grandmother wasn’t too happy about that, I ruined one of her best small kitchen pots. Oops. But, even as a little girl I loathed that plastic boobified little doll.

LOL - now that you all think I’m totally crazy … I hope you enjoyed the funny video from Gonnabe.com as much as I did, I wonder if we’ll see more of these spoofs in the future.

We’ve only just begun looking at house for rent listings, and already I am tired of hearing about carpet, linoleum, vinyl shutters, and how incredible new windows are to have. Blah, blah, blah, tell me how much it is, when I can look at it, and please tell me you’ll hold it for more than a week if I give you a security deposit. Some people won’t even show us places because we don’t want to move tomorrow… we want to move in June. It is making me insane! If you live in the Hampton Roads area and you have a house for rent … I will be your new best friend. LOL

Memory that is. I wish my actual memory were expandable and not just my computer memory. Then maybe I’d remember to actual do things on occasion. LOL But, seriously. Is there such a thing as too much memory? Are the computers with 5gb memory just showing off? What could you possibly to do to take up that much memory anyhow? I barely take up a tiny fraction of the 1gb on my laptop and 2gb on my desktop. It’s literally just teeny tiny sliver in the pie graph that says how much memory I’m using. So, tell me, what does one do with 5gb of memory? Same thing we do every night Pinky, try to take over the world.

I try to keep the sidebar and footer here free of blog clutter. It’s so easy to get sucked into the clutter of sidebar “junk”… you know the things I mean. Banners, buttons, blinkies, and linkage to everything on the planet. Sometimes you just want to give the sidebar a good dose of Fenphedra to slim it down a bit. I recently did a quick clean up here on the sidebar and I think we’re still doing okay. Ads are minimal, I kept the Twitter bar up since I’m currently in total love with Twitter, and other than that it’s pretty free and clear of stuff. When was the last time you de-junked your sidebar
